LRI did all of the work on the barreled action for these three HNT26 hunting rifles.

My rifle's specs:

Remington 40X titanium long action receiver (1 of 9 made)
Skeletonized long action bolt with carbon fiber bolt knob
LRI aluminum picatinny scope rail
Bix'n Andy Pro-X trigger with gator shoe
Vortex AMG 1-10x24 black scope
OPS AWP 1.125" military surplus scope rings
Proof Research 20" .300WM carbon fiber barrel
PTR Vent 1 3D printed titanium silencer
MDT HNT26 long action carbon fiber stock (folding and Arca)
MDT adjustable buttplate
Aftermarket buttpad
MDT 3 rounds polymer magazine
Backlanz carbon fiber bipod

My rifle currently weighs 9 pounds and 3.5 ounces with these parts. However, I'm waiting for a new scope and scope mount, and I'm going to lighten the adjustable buttplate. Doing so will drop the weight by a minimum of 10 ounces. Once I make these final modifications, this rifle should weigh about 8.5 lbs or possibly less. And that weight includes the scope, silencer, bipod, and empty magazine.

Below are the two HNT26 hunting rifles that I gave to two of my friends as gifts. Their rifles still need the new trigger, adjustable buttplate, aftermarket buttpad, and bipod.

The two rifles below have:

Original US Army used Remington M24 receivers (with FOIA paperwork)
Mk13 bolts with carbon fiber knobs
Remington M24 trigger
NightForce ATACR 4-16x42 scopes
OPS AWP 1.5" scope rings/mount
TBAC Magnus silencer

The stocks, barrels, and scope rails on these two rifles are the same parts as the ones on my rifle.

Read number 15 VERY closely. Then read it again.

And see how much of this is exactly the stuff spewed by our resident communist shit disturbers.

Right on!!!

hate to see best ag land on earth trashed. not a fan of nuc fallout. think best bet is for Putin to turn loose FSB and Spetsnaz on Z and his whole crew. they already tried to take Putin out with drones. so,the usual don't take out foreign enemy leaders is off the board. or,he could drone Z back. the Jews have had success with directed strikes. read they just took out the head of Hamas in Gaza. he could drone out Macron,Merz and Starmer.
would be a big help all around.

It is such a beautiful system - the weight of the dumb will drag you under, no matter what you do.

Did this rifle really never sell?

Correct. I've had offers for people wanting to part it out but I just haven't been bothered to go that route to be completely honest. Which I get, the AMG is an older discontinued optic and I'm sure most people are wanting to throw something better on. To be completely honest I was only wanting to sell it to get out of some debt to make life a bit easier to go back to college. But I decided I'm just going to sell my house and use the equity to pay off old student loans, credit cards and pay for school that way.

1. How a wanker like david hogg could get any traction at all in the democrat party just goes to show you how fucked up they are.

It shows how manufactured it is.

Super interesting book: The Undoing Project from Michael Lewis (Liars' Poker, The Big Short, Money Ball). Money Ball (2003) as many know from the movie was about the way in which the Baseball Market perceives talent and the ill application of such perceptions. In discussing Money Ball, Lewis was publicly lead to the question of: Why do baseball experts hold the opinions they do about what makes for a good ballplayer? To wit, Cass Sunstein (yes - the Obama WH Cass Sunstein - who later wrote on the subject of cognitive bias and heuristics in the decision making process) chided Lewis on Twitter when telling him that he was ignorant of the work of Israeli Intelligence Officers who - on the behalf of and in protection of Israel, developed cognitive bias and heuristics as a weapon. The impact of these experiments changed most every aspect of our life and culture. In fact many of these findings were so powerful that they found their way into Marketing. Lewis treads lightly, but if one considers the mirrored reflection of what he is saying (when Israel as a state was concocted as a plan by the Zionist in return for drawing the US into WW1, and then magically drawn out of a map of lands that were part of the British Empire in Paris in 1919, and then legitimized by UN resolution) Israel operated from the mindset that the whole world was the enemy, and the goal was soft control of all.

The world is much more fake and gay / manipulated for a purpose than the average person can or is willing to understand...

I’m surprised at how many people say this about the 5-25 ATACR. Unfortunately I already bought one and just couldn’t justify the extra $700 for the 7-35. I figured as a beginner I hopefully wouldn’t care that much. I got a good deal on both that scope and a 4-16, but I can’t compare because the 5-25 hasn’t yet shipped. Right off the bat the 4-16 has greater clarity compared to a Khales k624i.

I hope that NF either fixes the issue with the 5-25 glass, or lowers the prices drastically for what people seem to say about it. It’s like almost everyone has to comment that it’s not good/not worth the money. But then 4-20 doesn’t really cover my bases, and the 7-35 is just way up another level. I could get a 7-35 used for the same price but that’s my only option.

So far I don’t like the locking button on the 4-16 turret. Just don’t like the ergo of it. Great turrets though. Illumination is not daylight bright, and the mag ring is really stiff. Parallax knob a little loose. Main gripe with the NF is 12 mil turrets instead of 10. Makes me have to count instead of just instantly knowing what the elevation is by looking. Looking for a solution to that still. Ocular housing lock ring design is a plus for me because I like a long length of pull and is more user friendly to be able to grab the whole thing, rather than reach farther up to find the skinny mag ring on most scopes. Being able to grab it with the whole hand also makes it easier to move overall. Still feels way too stiff for my liking. Hoping to somehow fix that as well. I can see why people don’t like it though because if you don’t tape it or torque it on extra tight is easily comes lose. Plus you can’t run a rear scope cap.

I have a 5-25 and it is one of my favorite scopes, I also have a 4-20 on my work rifle and it is great scope as well.

And I own a fair amount of high end glass, and never feel like the 5x25 has bad glass. Could just be the examples I have looked through though.

PS. Just when you think the view can’t get any better the Thunderbirds start flying over getting ready for the Air Force Academy graduation tomorrow. If it doesn’t thunder and pour rain, I’ll be sitting on the deck at a retired Colonel House watching them front row while smoking cigars!!

Check out the view of the AFA from Rampart Reservoir. IIRC, it's the res that supplies the AFA w/ their water.

I do remember "soft" FC brass from maybe 10-15yrs ago but recent stuff seems fine. I shoot lots of it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately, no. Don’t have a place nearby that carries them.

given the criteria, I would go with the 4-16, or heck go with the new atacr 4-20, your talking 1 inch longer and 5oz more on weight, get the good glass and 20x magnification.

I guess this is where intended usage has to be considered. There are many instances where the user would not want to forfeit the FOV, larger exit pupil and brightness of the lower range.

That's kinda my point.
It is sub-optimal on the high end and neutered on the low end.

You are getting a lot of compromises by going to a 1:8 ratio variable in the first place. Now you are giving away any benefit of FFP in the lower mags while getting an eye relief and exit pupil size that is not very user friendly on the higher mags.

That's an expensive optic to simply compromise on both ends of the mag range.

Nobody is going to do that when in a hurry or under stress.
Not only will they likely forget to split the numbers, they would have to have the forethought to get the mag ring exactly on 10X to be accurate.

Verifying that 10X is accurately doubling the values would be easy to confirm on a fixed/known distance range against a known size object.
Something like this grid that I have been using in Basic classes will quickly verify.

Agreed.
That would be a nice option for those insisting on an NX8.

Terry,

Any issues picking up the center dot at 16x? I didn’t know if they increase the size of the reticle for the lower magnification.

I'll take it. PM incoming
